Electric does not handle these devices.  You could add a new layer to 
the "mocmos" technology (with the technology editor) and then place 
that layer over the appropriate transistors.  You could also define 
new transistors that have the layer in place.

Spice deck generation does extract "correct" parasitic values, as far 
as I know.  Of course, these are approximations, and the algorithm is 
not as sophisticated as some.
